When employees feel seen and cared for, corporate relationships strengthen, helping everyone work together effectively towards a shared goal.

Onebright understands that sickness days are a fact of life and we will all need to take them now and again. We also know that stress or ill mental health are the top reason to take time off – both short term and long term.

If people are suffering from stress, anxiety or burnout, they can’t fully enjoy their jobs, fulfil their potential or balance work with their personal lives. And this means your business can’t flourish. That’s why creating a supportive work environment is an investment not just in your team, but also your business.

While investing in mental health interventions has upfront costs, these are outweighed by long-term savings. Businesses that proactively manage workplace mental health see a reduction in recruitment costs and indirect costs associated with lost productivity.

Employee absenteeism disrupts business continuity, generates additional costs and takes employees away from their day-to-day job as they must manage the absence and train temporary workers. Projects can get delayed and the service offered to customers or clients is likely to be impacted.

The mental health requirements of employees continue to shift, so evaluating where the gaps exist in terms of mental health training, diagnosis and treatment for conditions, and the use of data, can help leaders to make informed decisions about their workforce’s needs.
